Abstract
This article examines the key characteristics of the ideal president in the ninth Iranian presidential election from the perspective of the Supreme Leader. Highlighting the unique domestic and international conditions of this period, the study identifies addressing economic challenges, implementing justice, combating corruption and discrimination, and focusing on people's livelihood needs as critical priorities. The Supreme Leader emphasizes the necessity of electing a candidate with capability, vitality, power, a sense of responsibility, and readiness to work. These traits are not only rooted in the constitution and the guidelines of Imam Khomeini but are also tailored to the specific circumstances of each era. Drawing on the Supreme Leader's speeches and messages, the article provides an analysis of these essential qualities.
